Methyl Sulfonyl Methane 

Methyl Sulfonyl Methane Description

     Methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM), also known as dimethyl sulfone, is an organosulfur compound with the formula (CH3)2SO2. This colourless solid features the sulfone functional group and is considered relatively inert chemically. It occurs naturally in some primitive plants and is present in small amounts in many foods and beverages and it is marketed as a dietary supplement, although its benefits are disputed.

Use as a solvent

Because of its polarity and thermal stability, MSM is used industrially as a high-temperature solvent for both inorganic and organic substances. It is used as a medium in organic synthesis. For example, displacement of aryl chlorides by potassium fluoride can be usefully conducted in molten MSM.[1] With a pKa of 31, it can be deprotonated with sodium amide, and the conjugate base is an effective nucleophile.

Effects on health

MSM is promoted as a natural source of sulfur by the supplement and health food industry, s esting that people are deficient in sulfur intake. However, protein in the diet is an abundant source of sulfur, which is contained in the amino acids methionine and cysteine. MSM is sold as a dietary supplement that is marketed with a variety of claims and is commonly used (often in combination with glucosamine and/or chondroitin) for helping to treat or prevent osteoarthritis. U.S. Retail sales of MSM as a single ingredient in dietary supplements amounted to $115 million in 2003. The biochemical effects of supplemental methylsulfonylmethane are poorly understood. Some researchers have s ested that MSM has anti-inflammatory effects.[2] [3] Any health effects of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) may be mediated, at least in part, by MSM.[4][5] Stanley W. Jacob, M.D., of the Oregon Health and Science University, claims to have used MSM to treat over 18,000 patients with a variety of ailments.
